Sauce and Sensibility’s 1st Anniversary
One year ago today, we posted our first entry on Sauce and Sensibility. Hitting that “post” button for the first time was a little disconcerting—kind of like getting up in front of an audience the first time I made a speech—butterflies in the stomach and all. But I needn’t have worried—because nobody was reading! Well, that’s not fair—my family and closest friends are certainly not nobody—they are everything to me—but of course they were the only ones reading a year ago. That’s beginners’ blog life!
Now, I am somewhat amazed to say—things have changed a lot. In the year since we’ve started, 49,000 visitors have stopped by Sauce and Sensibility—and looked at 250,000 pages. Compared to the 175 visitors in our first month, over 8,000 stopped by last month. Of course, those aren’t big numbers at all in the blogosphere, but it’s certainly enough for my talented photographer husband and me. And the best part of all is that we really are having fun cooking together and learning about the art and science of food photography. And the food blog community is a great place—filled with talented cooks and interesting people all over the world—we’re definitely here for the long haul. Continue reading
